Go back? There's no going back.

At the same time, one of the knights took out the communicator and prepared to call for support.

"You people from this empire are really... quite interesting."

However, to the surprise of several patrol knights, the conflict did not break out completely.

Although it seemed that he had reached the critical point of an emotional outburst, the silver-haired young man did not do anything out of line in the end.

As his mind reappeared with the somewhat gloomy look of his sister in the past two days, Luke took a deep breath, suppressed the impulse in his mind, and did not explode.

Although he wanted to get angry, he was more afraid of causing trouble and causing his sister to get angry...

Anyway, first...get into the finals smoothly.

Thinking of this, the silver-haired young man glanced at the people in front of him with an extremely cold look, then slowly turned around, walked down the stairs, and returned to the "protection granting" area in the room.

"..."

Seeing this scene, not only the patrol knight on the side, but even Manqisi, who had already prepared to face the danger, was stunned.

After a moment's silence, she let out a small breath, closed her eyes again, clasped her hands together, and prayed.

The holy light, which was clearer than the one that was bestowed yesterday, gradually emanated from the Emperor Spirit statue and enveloped the silver-haired young man.

A few minutes later, in addition to the silver-haired young man, several other candidates arrived late and received new protection.

A few moments.

Just as everyone was waiting quietly, a heavy sound of footsteps came again from not far away.

"All candidates, gather at the center of the venue outside."

Then, the gloomy young knight returned to the door of the intensive care room, looked around at everyone in the room, and announced in a cold voice: "The resurrection match of the Fire Seed Assessment will officially begin in ten minutes. No one will be allowed after the time is up."

As soon as those words fell, all the examinees in the room who had just been frightened by the silver-haired young man stood up quickly and ran towards the passage leading to the venue.

"Kro, you must not act stubbornly... Do you understand?"

At this time, Manqisi called out to the white-haired young man who was also preparing to follow the large group, and reminded him with a worried look: "The protection of the Emperor Spirit this time is stronger than before. As long as you give up in time when you encounter danger, your life will not be in danger..."

The reason why she gave such a special reminder was because she knew very well that due to the incident just now, the silver-haired young man had obviously been keeping a close eye on this child.

If nothing unexpected happens, the opponent will most likely target the white-haired young man in the resurrection match.

"Don't worry, Sister Man."

However, facing Manqisi's worries, the white-haired young man was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly showed a hearty smile on his face: "Don't underestimate him. As long as I surrender quickly enough, that guy can't do anything to me."

"Anyway, I didn't think I could make it to the finals, so I just did it for fun."

After leaving these words, the white-haired young man waved his hand and turned away again.

"Man...Sister Man..."

At this time, another gray-haired young man who had never left the place also subconsciously looked at Manqisi.

"You should go over quickly too, and be careful."

In response to him, Manqisi's tone was still gentle, and there was no change from the past.

"Yeah...yeah! I will!"

Hearing the voice, the tense expression on the gray-haired young man's face relaxed a little. He immediately nodded and hurriedly chased after the crowd.

Just like that, as the announcement of the official start of the resurrection match was given, in just a few minutes, the entire intensive care unit... suddenly became empty.

Staying alone in the room, she looked around, bent down slightly to pick up the black eye bags on the ground, and carefully brushed off the dust, and Manqisi sighed softly.

Just now, when facing the silver-haired young man, although the gray-haired young man's final reaction of changing sides made Manqisi speechless, but... she didn't really take it to heart.

After all, from the very beginning, she had never expected anything other than to let these "legacy" of her father grow up healthily, and now there is no question of being disappointed.

Essentially, compared to Crowe, who wanted to protect her more, More was simply choosing to protect himself.

These children have now grown up and have independent personalities, and she has no intention of continuing to correct them.

No matter in the past or now, it seems that there has always been only one person who really cares about her.

"Am I a little incompetent as a foster mother...?"

Muttering this, Manqisi looked out the door in a daze.

Although she was only responsible for the protection of the third batch of candidates, the intensity of the protection increased and the corresponding consumption of mental power also increased, causing Manqisi to feel a little tired now.

However, before she could take a break, her attention was suddenly drawn to a figure walking past the door of the intensive care unit.

……Eh?

Although the other person had a hunched back, walked with the help of the wall, and had his head drooped, he looked like a living dead.

But at just one glance, Manqisi recognized that it was her young master.

But for some reason, the other person's state at this moment seems to be very different from when he left the room last night.

The whole person was swaying even when he walked, as if he would fall down at any time.

Seeing this scene, Manqisi hurriedly stepped forward and supported the latter.

"Are you okay? How did it become like this...?"

Letting the latter lean on her, the expression on Manqisi's face instantly tensed. She carefully checked Su Wei's condition and asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired..."

Looking at the nun who suddenly appeared beside him, Su Wei, who had just come out of the training room after practicing for a while, blinked in surprise.

However, after noticing the other party's uneasy gaze, he quickly shook his head: "Just take a short rest for a while."

"But you look very bad. Did you encounter any problems during your practice?"

But, despite what Su Wei said, the nun beside him still seemed to be completely worried: "Besides, your magic power is a little loose, so you should go to the infirmary for a check-up. I'll go with you."

"..."

Hearing this, Su Wei wanted to wave his hand to indicate that it was not necessary, but soon, when he thought of the large package of high-quality recovery potion he had consumed from yesterday to now, he suddenly hesitated.

"Does my complexion really look that bad now?"

Blinking his eyes, he asked the nun uncertainly.

"Ah."

The nun nodded vigorously and added in a low voice: "One is yellow and the other is purple..."

"……Is it."

Su Wei was silent for a moment, nodded, and then looked at the latter uncertainly: "Then... trouble you?"

"It's no trouble."

Shaking her head gently at Su Wei, the nun supported him and turned to walk towards the infirmary.

Soon, the two stopped in front of a half-open door.

Just as the nun raised her free hand and knocked on the door, a clear voice soon came from inside: "Come in."

Hearing the sound, Manqisi reached out and pushed open the door in front of her.

"Um……?"

When Su Wei saw the view in the room clearly, he was stunned.

Because he discovered that... unexpectedly, there were people lying on several beds in the room.

Su Wei was a little confused.

After all, if he heard correctly before, the resurrection match should have started by now?

In other words, these people... should all be candidates for the main competition?

"Doctor, he looked very pale after coming back from the training ground. Could you please help me see what's going on..."

As she said this, the nun beside her helped Su Wei to the desk in the ward.

Probably because the resurrection match was about to begin, most of the medical staff had already gone to the outside of the venue to stand by. At this moment, in the entire medical room, only the middle-aged woman in a white coat in front of Su Wei was on duty.

"Another overdose of potions during training, and the types of potions he took were very complicated."

However, as soon as Manqisi finished speaking, the middle-aged doctor in front of her just glanced at Su Wei's face, adjusted his eyes, and made a direct judgment.

"…A miracle doctor."

Seeing this, Su Wei blinked, looking stunned.

This... We had just met for less than five seconds, and you came to this conclusion with just one look, without any instruments or pulse taking?

"I can't call him a miracle doctor."

However, after hearing Su Wei's sigh, the middle-aged doctor just shook his head helplessly, and pointed at the candidates lying on several other beds in front of Su Wei: "It's just that since last night, I have diagnosed many patients like you in a row."

Su Wei: “…Is that so?”

"I'm not saying anything bad about you. Although I know that you candidates who passed the audition are very talented and hardworking, but... you should at least pay a little attention to your health when you practice, okay?"

After casually handing a meter-like instrument that looked like it was used to test some data to Su Wei and asking him to put it on, the middle-aged doctor stood up and walked to the medicine cabinet behind him and began to prepare something.

During the race, she also reminded him earnestly: "It is not a good habit to take medicine while practicing hard. Moreover, if the injury cannot be recovered before the start of the competition, it will be more trouble than gain, isn't it?"

"You're right."

Hearing this, Su Wei first glanced at the floor-length mirror not far away, then looked at the sickly faces on the beds next to him that were even more colorful than his own, and immediately nodded in approval: "People like this who just roll around all day long seem hopeless."

Originally, Su Wei thought that there wouldn't be many people who could take medicine while training like him, but it turned out that someone entered the infirmary earlier than him.

I can only say that these candidates who can directly advance to the main competition from the auditions are quite outrageous.

Even when he was looking into the eyes of those sickly guys just now, Su Wei could barely recognize a familiar face among them.

It was the mama's boy who rented the room to a certain candidate with a cockscomb haircut for a dozen gold coins last night.

"…What I just said also includes you."

However, the middle-aged doctor, who had already prepared the medicine, returned to his desk holding a paper cup.

She first grabbed Su Wei's wrist, stared at the numbers on the watch he had just put on for a while, and then nodded slightly: "Fortunately, the degree of magic blockage is not serious, and there is no need to be hospitalized for observation. You just need to come here on time to take medicine in the next two days to metabolize the drug effect in your body."

"...Okay, let me tell you, I am different from these people..."

Hearing this, Su Wei also breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to take the paper cup from the other person's hand.

"Your case is the most serious."

However, just as Su Wei was about to drink from the paper cup, the middle-aged doctor in front of him kindly reminded him, "At present, if the magic potions you drank were not of very high quality and you did not take an overdose, you could have prepared for your death now."

As soon as the middle-aged doctor finished speaking, the whole room suddenly became quiet.

At this moment, not only the nun who had just breathed a sigh of relief was stunned again, but even the several candidates lying on the hospital beds nearby all cast contemptuous glances at Su Wei.

"..."

Su Wei said nothing, drank the medicine quietly, and was about to get up and leave.

"After taking the medicine, continue to observe for ten minutes before leaving."

The middle-aged doctor gave a timely reminder.

"..."

With the help of the nun beside him, Su Wei quietly found a bed in the corner and sat down again.

At this point, the entire ward fell silent again.

"Well...well, you just take a good rest here. I'll go back to the intensive care unit first."

A few minutes later, the nun sitting beside the bed looked a little uneasy and suddenly spoke to Su Wei.

"Go back now?"

Hearing this, Su Wei looked at the latter with some confusion.

"……Um."

After meeting Su Wei's gaze, the nun pursed her lips and subconsciously looked away.

Seeing this scene, the expression on Su Wei's face suddenly became even weirder.

The nun at this moment made him feel clearly uncomfortable.

Although it may sound a bit self-righteous to say this, Su Wei believes that now that the resurrection match has begun and there is no need to grant anyone any more care, and since he is still lying in the hospital bed for observation, a normal nun should at least stay with him until the observation is over before leaving.
